RECIPE TIP:
-
SUPER CHICKEN:
- Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
-
MAKE AHEAD:
- Soup is a great way to use leftover chicken. Make a double batch and freeze some in 2-cup amounts so it can be easily thawed and heated when needed.
- DID YOU KNOW?.
- Cilantro has a lively pungent flavor that some discribe as slightly soapy. It's used often in Mexican, Indian and Indonesian dishes. Also called Chinese parsley, it's a key ingredient in pico de gallo (salsa).
